Wedding Day
Wedding Day
Every little girl dreams about her wedding day. I was no different. An Indian marriage is performed with great funfair. All people whether rich or poor want it to be a memorable occasion. My wedding day was the most joyous day of my life. Since then, I have learned that such moments do not happen all the time. It is important to enjoy them. My wedding day was fulfilled with many emotional including happiness, sadness, fear, and excitement.
My wedding has been the most blissful time of my life. However, it seemed to be a complete blur. It all happened very quickly from the moment I was engaged to the moment we walked around the sacred circle on my wedding day. The wedding was put together in only ten days. I spent those ten days with my fiancé and my future in-laws getting to know each other. We spent time visiting temples and shopping in preparation for the wedding. We shopped matching wedding dress. Our wedding dress was red and white color. I also spent much of that time with my family and many relatives from out of the town. I met so many people. There were over 2000 people that attend our two day wedding ceremonies. Almost everyone from our families to our friends helped celebrate. On that day I was very nervous to go front of my fiancé but inside of my heart, I was very happy. I was going to start my new life. Not only were many of dreams coming true, but also I was fulfilling my father’s hopes. He also wished that I settle in the United States for a better life. I will always remember the joy in my father’s eyes that day.
While I was having the time of my life, a part of me was both sad and fearful. I was disappointed my older brother was unable to attend the biggest day of my life. He was living abroad and could not make the trip back because of immigration issues. I was also sad because I realized that I would need to leave for the US. I had always lived in our small village for my entire life. It meant that I was

    Surprisingly, I didn’t feel the urge to cry. There I was, standing amongst the rolling hills of Eagle Rock in Los Angeles, and my cheeks were as dry as the city’s desert climate. The day had come; it was time to say goodbye to my older brother, Otto, who was about to start college. Equipped with tissues in my pocket and mascara-free eyes, I had anticipated a day filled with tears. I cried when he broke his elbow in a nasty snowboarding accident and I cried at his graduation when the realization hit me that he would soon be leaving home. Yet when finally confronted with the momentous occasion of his departure, not a single tear welled in my eye.…

    My dad suggested we should give a family BBQ so I could say my goodbyes to everyone. At the BBQ, I was happy to see all my family together after being gone for eleven years. With the smell of the hot charcoals burning on the grill to the taste of the homemade savory sweet potato pie made me want to stay a little while longer. At the end of the night as I pack up my suitcase, I thought about the whole trip and I am glad I had this chance to visit all the other people who love and care about me. The day finally came for Mykeasha and me to go back home to California. As my dad was getting all of our luggage together and stacking them sideways in the trunk, I was saying my goodbye to my little sister Milan and I wanted her to have something to remember me by. I gave her one of my favorite necklaces. It was a gold heart with lots of little dimonds in it. She jumped for joy and put it around her neck and gave me a huge hug and kiss. Pulling out of the driveway, I felt ok. I was happy to go back home but I was upset to be leaving New Orleans where all my other family lives. Getting back home I sat to myself thinking about the whole trip and I realize that it was one of the most memorable experiences of a…

    On a beautiful Sunday morning, I got a call from my grandfather from America after 9 years. When my mom told me that it’s your grandfather, I ran to the yellow, old phone. When I heard the first words that my grandfather said to me, it felt so great that even words couldn’t describe it. We talked for many hours and while talking to him I realized how great, smart, and wonderful my grandfather was. Then I handed the phone to my dad because he had important things to talk about. After the call was ended, my dad told me the best news I can hear.
